Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

The next day, Li Lei arrived at the training base early as usual.

"Hey! Good morning, Leiqi."Li Lei greeted the security guard Leiqi who opened the door for him.

He had a good impression of the security guard in front of him. It was thanks to his guidance that he found the way.

"Good morning, Li. You played really well yesterday. I am almost becoming your fan."

"It would be even better if we could score a few more goals!"

Lei Qi, the security guard at the training base, opened the door for him while excitedly telling him the results of yesterday's warm-up match.

"You don't want us to leave the court alive! Didn't you see the other team's face? If a few more goals are scored, you will have to carry me off the court."

"Wow, why aren't you a real fan? I believe you will remove the word"fast" soon. Li Lei said jokingly.

"Ha! Then you have to show more performance to conquer me. I am not that easy to conquer."

"There will be that day, and it will come soon."Li Lei said affirmatively.

After finishing the conversation, he walked towards the training ground.

Maybe���It was too early, the base was very quiet, the staff inside had not arrived yet, and he was the only one on the road leading to the training ground.

When he walked into the training ground, Vardy's figure appeared in his sight as expected.

"Hey, brother, why are you always the first one to arrive at the training ground?" Li Lei said with a smile while stretching his body.

"Why not give young people a chance?"

"Of course, young man, you have to work harder! Your current environment is much better than mine."

"Stop talking, let's practice! I've come up with a few new ways to shoot. Pass the ball to me."

"I have decided to use it in my debut game, it will definitely amaze the fans"

"Brother, you don't look like someone begging for help."

Li Lei spent the next few days in training. Time passed day by day, and the 12-13 Championship season was about to begin.

On the afternoon of August 17, head coach Pearson gathered all the players, because tomorrow, August 18, is the start date of the new season of the Championship.

He will announce the 18-man roster for tomorrow. Since it is a home game and the first game of the new season, they are a little nervous.

Li Lei, standing in the crowd, had his heartbeat faster and faster without realizing it, and he listened nervously to every name the coach read out.

How he hoped that he could be on the roster, only in this way could he further look forward to whether he would have a starting position.

"Vardy!"

"yeah!"

"Congratulations, brother."

Li Lei was happy for his good brother when he saw him on the list, but there were not many spots left.

"Relax, with your strength, the coach will not ignore you, you have to have confidence in yourself."

Vardy saw that the little brother in front of him was a little nervous, so he said comfortingly

"Of course."

As the head coach Pearson called the names, the players showed different reactions. Those whose names were called put down their nervousness and smiled. Those who were not called still looked at the list in the coach's hand with expectation.

"Li Lei!"

Finally, Li Lei's name was called out last.

"How about it, brother! I was right, wasn't I? You will definitely be selected."Vardy patted Li Lei on the shoulder and said

"I have always believed this, without me, who will pass the ball to you?"

"Ha! Who was so nervous that he almost cried?"

""Everyone be quiet!"

Head coach Pearson interrupted the conversation between the players and said,"Tomorrow is the game day, I hope you can all get a good rest today!"

"I know some of you here are participating in such a big event for the first time, don't be too nervous and ruin your form."

"As for who will play tomorrow, it all depends on the state."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

"yes!"

""Disband!"

After hearing the order to disband, everyone dispersed.

The players who failed to make the roster looked a little depressed. After all, who doesn't want to play in the game?

Li Lei and Vardy were talking and laughing while packing their backpacks.

"Brother, don't lose sleep tonight! I'm still waiting for your goal tomorrow!"

"You're still talking about me! I've been a professional football player for a few years, and I've changed clubs a lot."

"But you, you are going to play in such a big competition right after coming out of the training camp, can you do it?"

"Don't look down on me, I've seen all kinds of scenes in La Masia! Humph!"

"Hey! I heard you were kicked out of the training camp."

"Rumors! Slander! How could it be possible!"

"All right! Let's go! Tomorrow is an important day."

At dawn on the morning of August 18, Leicester City fans began to gather outside the King Power Stadium.

This afternoon at 14:00, Leicester City will host Peterborough United.

As time goes by, the atmosphere around the stadium has been filled with a unique passion and expectation.

Fans of both sides came to the stadium early to wait for admission. They wore various bright jerseys, hats and scarves, and waved flags and trumpets in their hands, fully prepared for the upcoming game.

"Fight! Fight! Victory always belongs to Leicester City!"

Groups of fans shouted slogans and enjoyed the happiness.

Local media have started interviews around the stadium and reported it as an important local event.

Li Lei followed the team bus and arrived at the King Power Stadium on time an hour earlier.

Looking at the square stadium in front of him that can accommodate 32,500 spectators, an excited and surging emotion began to surge.

Before he could say anything, the bus had stopped, so he had to follow his teammates into the stadium.

At this time, fans from both sides had entered the stadium, and their cheers gradually sounded around.

Everyone in the locker room remained quiet, everyone was quietly changing their jerseys, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

""Okay! Let's go out and warm up." Head coach Pearson clapped his hands as he entered the locker room.

Li Lei followed his teammates to the sidelines, looking at the seats that were already full of spectators and feeling the enthusiasm of the fans and spectators, which made him excited. He liked the feeling of the Communist Party.

"Brother, are you nervous?" Li Lei began to divert his attention with a little nervousness.

"Li, don’t you see that my movements are a little stiff?"

"I've never played in front of such passionate fans, they were so enthusiastic, it was amazing"

"I like it here."

Vardy, who was doing warm-up exercises with Li Lei, said excitedly.

"I like it here too!" Li Lei replied in the same way.

The two fledglings who had just entered the stadium discussed their feelings at the moment.

Surrounded by this tension, the warm-up time passed quickly and the players returned to the locker room again.
